Last week we met with Ivan McKee MSP, Minister for Trade, Investment and Innovation, to launch a major new project, supported by the Scottish Funding Council. Over the coming year, we will evaluate the carbon reduction secured by a high-quality #Enerphit retrofit of an eight-property tenement block in Glasgow. Critical to this project will be assessing the scalability and replicability of the lessons learned for Glasgow’s wider pre-1919 #tenement stock. https://lnkd.in/e7Bd9pu

Our latest report from Jenny Preece focuses on the #BuildingSafetyCrisis and #DefectiveConcrete #Mica.
